Information and communication technology or IT has stimulated the globalisation process. How would it influence the country like India where people still depend on agriculture and believe in their customs and traditions?

Answer»

Rapid improvement in technology has been one major factor that has stimulated the globalisation process. For instances, the past fifty years have seen several improvements in transportation technology. This has made much faster delivery of goods across long distances possible at lower costs.

Even more remarkable have been the developments in information and communica-tion technology. In the recent times, technology in the areas of telecommunication, computers, Internet has been changing rapidly. Telecommunication facilities (Telegraph, telephone including mobile phones, fax) are used to contact one another around the world, to access information instantly, and to communicate from remote areas. This has been facilitated by satellite communication devices. Computers have now entered almost every field of activity. Internet allows us to send instant electronic mail (e-mail) and talk (voice-mail) across the world at negligible costs.
